               with limits not less than $1 million per accident  and  including
               Comprehensive and Collision Damage coverage for each vehicle. The
               insurance  shall name Hybrid  Tech as Loss Payee and  NASA-KSC as
               Additional Insured. Hybrid Tech must provide continued,  proof of
               such  insurance to  NASA-KSC,  as  requested.  Proof of insurance
               shall be provided at the time of execution of  Supplement to this
               Agreement.

          2.   NASA-KSC shall promptly notify Hybrid Tech of any damage to their

               Approved Service Providers in NASA-KSC's geographic area prior to
               delivery of the vehicle. If any of the foregoing dealers cease to
               he Approved Service  Providers during the Term,  Hybrid Tech will
               appoint  one or more  alternate  Approved  Service  Providers  in
               NASA-KSC's  geographic area and provide  NASA-KSC with an updated
               list.

               necessary,  replacement  of the  vehicle.  All  vehicle  warranty
               repair and maintenance  shall be performed in accordance with the
               manufacturer's  suggested warranty repair and maintenance program
               and by an Approved Service Provider.  Any manufacturer  recall or
               other  notices  regarding  the operation or repair of the vehicle
               will be forwarded to NASA-KSC within five (5) days of receipt.

               delivering  the  vehicle to the  Approved  Service  Provider  for
               warranty repair and maintenance.  If the vehicle is not drivable,
               NASA-KSC  will obtain  clearance  of any approved KSC tow company
               for the removal of the vehicle from KSC property.

          4.   NASA-KSC shall provide,  at its own expense,  a power source that
               meets  the  specifications  set  forth  by  Hybrid  Tech  and the
               manufacturer  for  recharging  required for the proper  operation
               and/or protection of each vehicle.

          6.   NASA-KSC  gives Hybrid Tech the right to inspect any vehicle upon
               prior reasonable  notice to NASA-KSC.  If Hybrid Tech, during any
               inspection of a vehicle,  determines  that NASA-KSC has failed to
               perform its obligations as set forth in this Section, Hybrid Tech
               shall give  NASA-KSC  written  notice  thereof.  Unless  NASA-KSC
               performs its obligations within thirty (30) days from the date of
               Hybrid Tech notice, Hybrid Tech shall have the right, but not the
               obligation,  to  terminate  the loan of the  vehicle to  NASA-KSC
               and/or to perform the maintenance,  service,  and repair required
               to be performed.

          7.   NASA-KSC gives Hybrid Tech the right to install, at any time, any

    vehicle or Hybrid Tech for product liability claims.

C.  Hybrid Tech further  agrees  to  extend  this  unilateral  waiver to its own
    related entities by requiring them, by contract or otherwise, to waive   all
    claims against NASA, its related  entities,  and employees of NASA or of its
    related entities  for  injury,  death,  damage, or  loss  arising  from,  or
    related to, activities undertaken pursuant to this agreement.
